Hot stock of the day on December 17th was iRobot Corporation (IRBT). iRobot jumped 17.13%. This was due to two reasons; the first is the news that Google (GOOG) has been buying up robotics companies all over the place, the second is the Raymond James upgrade to strong buy with a price target of $39.

iRobot’s headquartered in Bedford, MA. iRobot designs, develops, and markets robots for the consumer, government, and industrial markets worldwide. It offers consumer products, including floor vacuuming and washing robots, floor sweeping robots, and pool and gutter cleaning robots. However, what seems to be the more important part of the company for this pop off is that they provide defense and security products. Some of which include; ground robots comprising 510 PackBot line of small unmanned ground robots, the 310 small unmanned ground vehicle (SUGV) and XM1216 SUGV multi-purpose ground robots, the 110 FirstLook small, light, and throwable robot, and the 710 Warrior multi-purpose robot for carrying heavy payloads.

Today’s Hot stock is Adobe Systems Incorporated (ADBE) Adobe soared 12.78% today on earning’s news. Adobe hit an all time high, despite the fact that their numbers weren’t stellar. All forward year numbers were below analyst consensus. Current quarter earnings were in line, however way below last year’s Q4 earnings, as well as revenue’s falling.

The news that really made the stock jump was their subscriber numbers for their creative cloud business. Their subscriber count jumped almost 39% to 1.439 million subscribers.

Adobe is an interesting play at this venture. With their transition into cloud they may be a good play, and with their subscriber increase this seems to be doing well for them. However the fundamental’s do not lie. We will see which prevails.
